The 52nd Annual Roanoke Ice Cream Social Band Concert took place this past Saturday (July 27). The event was held to raise funds for the maintenance of the band stand and a storage building in the area. Moberly High School band director Jordan Perry directed the concert band. First-hand accounts note that this year's crowd was a bit smaller than usual for the two-hour band concert with ice cream break, but that the weather was good. Roanoke was founded in 1834 by John Head on "Old Plank Road." The bandstand was built in 1906.
